Abstract: The clamping device (22) and the actuator device for its claw (30) can be secured to the hold door in such a way that when the freight is being removed via the door in one direction the claw remains in its raised working position, but when the freight is removed in any other direction it is lowered into its resting position.  The loading system includes roller and ball units which are mounted in or on top of the hold floor so that containers, pallets or similar freight items can be passed through the door into the hold and then anchored in given positions. The claw acts as a barrier to movement of the freight item along the floor when in the working position and when in its resting position the freight item can move over it unhindered. The actuator device for the clamping device is a ramp, lever or similar mechanical device. An Independent claim is also included for the use of the clamping device in a loading system in a freight hold of an aircraft.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas turbine combustor
comprising a premixed combustion burner disposed on the
periphery of a pilot burner, an approximately cylindrical
combustor liner (3) disposed on the downstream side of the
premixed combustion burner, which defines a combustion
chamber (4) in the liner (3). The gas turbine combustor is
characterized by further comprising flame stabilizers (10)
radially disposed at the exit of the premixed combustion
burner, and a fuel injection means with which the pilot
burner (5) is provided injects at least one of gas fuel
and liquid fuel, in which a plurality of air nozzles
(26) are provided which are located outside the pilot
burner and inside the premixed combustion burner, and which
spout out air into the combustion chamber (4). Adequate

Abstract: Reducing leakage within fuel injectors is one way in which the
efficiency of the overall fuel injection system can be improved. In most fuel
injectors that include a direct control needle valve, the needle valve member is
still biased toward a closed position by a spring that is located in a spring
chamber connected to a low pressure vent. In many instances, the needle valve
member is guided in a tight clearance region adjacent the spring chamber. Since
the internal plumbing of the fuel injector is connected to a high pressure rail
during and between injection events, static leakage across the guide region of the
needle valve member can reduce efficiency. Static leakage is reduced in the
present invention by connecting the spring chamber (48) to the common rail (14)
instead of to a low pressure vent. Such a fuel injector could find potential
application in any directly controlled fuel injection system (12), but is
particularly applicable in common rail systems in which the fuel injector (16)
remains fully pressurized between injection events.

Abstract: A rolling mill roll assembly comprises a support shaft having a tapered section leading
from an abutment to an end section. A ring-shaped roll with inboard and outboard flanks and a
cylindrical bore is axially mounted on the shaft with its inboard flank seated against the shaft
abutment and with its cylindrical bore surrounding the tapered shaft section. A tapered sleeve
is inserted between the tapered section of the shaft and the cylindrical bore of the roll, and a
load ring is rotatably fixed with respect to and axially shiftable on the end section of the shaft.
A resilient spacer is interposed between the load ring and the sleeve to yieldably maintain a gap
between the load ring and the outboard flank of the roll. A roll retainer mounted on the end
section of the shaft acts in an abutting relationship with the load ring and via the resilient
spacer to close the gap and axially wedge the tapered portion of the sleeve between the tapered
section of the shaft and the cylindrical bore of the roll. Bolt members threaded in through
bores in the roll retainer are torqued to urge the load ring against the outboard flank of the roll,
which in turn urges the outboard flank of the roll against the shaft abutment.

at least one member of the planetary gearsets (20,30,40). The torque transmitting
mechanisms are selectively engageable in combinations of two to establish at
least six forward speed ratios and one reverse speed ratio between the input
shaft (17) and the output shaft (19).

Abstract: To improve degradation of recognition performance due to eye detection
errors during face verification and to over a problem in that sufficient data to design
an optimum feature classifier cannot be obtained during face registration, a method
includes shifting the positions of eyes detected during face registration in
predetermined directions by a predetermined distance to generate pairs of new
coordinate points of the eyes; normalizing a face image on the basis of each pair of
new coordinate points of the eyes; using the results of normalization in learning a
feature classifier, thereby coping with eye detection errors. In addition, two
threshold values are used to prevent a database from being updated with a face of
an unregistered person and to update the database with a normal client's face image
that has been used during the latest face verification.
